This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify usual residents aged 16 and over in England and Wales by their highest level of qualification. The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

This information identifies educational achievement across the population to help government resource allocation and policy making, especially in relation to disadvantaged population groups and educationally deprived areas.

Similar estimates from the 2001 Census were provided in table UV24 however the category "Apprenticeship" is identified separately in 2011 estimates to provide more detail.

In order to protect against disclosure of personal information from the 2011 Census, there has been swapping of records in the Census database between different geographic areas, and so some counts will be affected. In the main, the greatest effects will be at the lowest geographies, since the record swapping is targeted towards those households with unusual characteristics in small areas.
